Zeteo's CEO and editor-in-chief goes head to head with the British broadcaster and Trump pal on mass deportations, the definition of fascism, Trump's Islamophobia, and more.
I do not understand why everyone isn’t up in arms over the kidnapping of law-abiding immigrants, whatever their status. Leaving kids alone and traumatized. Putting immigrants in private prisons modeled after the worst overseas and nobody can get in to see them. And what are they going to do with that giant budget?
I know the Epstein files gets everybody good ratings, but this is the most egregious thing taking place in Trump’s America.
And you don’t have to be a Zionist if you are Jewish, and you don’t have to agree with the slaughter in Gaza to have been a Zionist. Where is the outrage? I don’t mean from the administration - I mean from the American people.
I am sure you are well aware that the term “antisemitism” originally referred to ALL Semites, which would include Palestinians.
I am of Jewish descent, with a very Irish last name. My whole life people have said horrible things to me about Jews. The only difference is that recently it hasn’t been conspiratorially, when nobody is around. Now it’s loud and clear and proudly said. There isn’t more of it, it’s just acceptable now. It also pales in comparison to the outright racism and Islamophobia that’s been prevalent since 9/11.
I commuted to NYC for about 3 years, then relocated to San Francisco for 10. SF was much more international than NYC. I returned to NYC for some courses after 9/11 and was struck with the open Islamophobia in the city. Still am.
Forget the Pierce interview, the guy before him is a revisionist historian who’s clearly off his meds. How could Pierce sit there with a straight face? Oh yeah, he agrees with the guy. I’d love to see a debate between Mahdi and That Guy!
Honestly, Pierce Morgan lacks any semblance of self-awareness. His answers to Mehdi speak volumes.
First off, Pierce claims that by using fascism we’re diluting its meaning, even though everything Trump is doing is authoritarian fascism: defying court orders, attacking places of higher education.
Secondly, Trump is forcing corporations and the media into silence or complicity. Ignoring the rule of law, due process and birth right citizenship. Destroying faith in our institutions and replacing all our bureaucrats and technocrats with unqualified loyalists.
Not to mention, sending military troops for use domestically. And using tariffs as a weapon to punish his adversaries, while rewarding his friends with exemptions.
And it’s not like he’s already trying to rig the 26 midterms with redistricting in the middle of a decade.
That said, excellent as always Mahdi, although I’m not sure any of this will make a difference. Trump may be an authoritarian fascist kleptocrat and serial rapist to boot; but he’s MAGA’s fascist, rapist and crook, and that’s all that matters! IMHO…:)
The historian leaves much to be desired, facts are missing: the incumbent is a convicted felon, including a sexual assault that he keeps challenging payments and losing-what law is the incumbent following? US citizens are being abducted off the streets without their Due Process rights granted by the US Constitution-and sent to concentration camps internationally-this isn’t fascism? Masked ICE officers who do not identify themselves are doing the abducting and this isn’t fascism? Please. We’ve seen the proof of other doodles that incumbent denies. This guest’s opinions weren’t credible, just a waste.
I watched the first ten minutes thinking Mehdi would be on soon, and I swear I got dumber listening to headphones guy. In all seriousness, after I skipped ahead, good points from Mehdi. I appreciate that he doesn't gloss over Obama's faults but also stayed focused on the matter at hand: America's descent. I don't understand people like Piers who think we have to get to the gas chamber part of fascism before we can break glass in case of emergency. Like where do they think it starts? And almost ten years after Trump was first elected, we are well past the beginning stages.
Each time you show up for him Medhi, you show him up. That's a good thing because it's taken 2 years to get this pigheaded bothsider to admit Israel is wrong.
That historian manufactured his own history to make isreal as the usual victim, he is not aware that isreal and Netanyahu are the most hated two words in the whole world .
Cheeto’s lecherous past is clear He evaded public scrutiny over his sordid sexual predatory behavior for years First the Access Hollywood tapes, then the E Jean Carroll rape civil settlement, then the conviction in the Stormy Daniels escapade, but even his MAGA base can’t stomach the perverse pedophilia story hidden in the Epstein files
Even “I like beer” Kavanaugh is trying to come to Cheeto’s aid But this tale is not about a drunken Cheeto abusing a lady like Blasey Ford at a college party This is a story of a lifelong lecher who just so happened to hook up with another pedophile
And the victims hopefully will get a chance to tell their story Maria Farmer who was the first to come forward to report Epstein to the Clinton FBI in 1996 had her report Kbashed since it was right in the middle of Clinton’s impeachment and clearly Clinton being associated with Epstein at that point in time would have been a devastating blow to Clinton
So as Farmer tells the story, lecher Cheeto shows up unannounced in a dimly lit Epstein office and begins making remarks about Farmer’s legs But Epstein knowing Cheeto tells him “she’s not for you” What the hell does that mean? Epstein then ushers Cheeto out to another room There are so many more stories that the victims can tell Congress and they’re hoping they’ll get their chance I do too
Always amused and amazed as how much info Mehdi packs on the responses and how accurate and fast they are delivered, without mishaps! and i wonder why they keep bring him back to do it over and over. Cheers!
Pierce is a conservative that lives and breathe for the "gotcha" moments he thinks he "wins". While he pretend not to see that immigrants in the US that is detained and deported is not criminals and refuse to acknowledge they don't get due process. Or the torture in El Salvador. He acted as if that was a lie. And "Obama was worse" . Atleast laws were followed during Obama. And he created a legal pathway for undocumented to get green card or citizenship. Deporting people that just crossed the border is one thing. They should also have a chance to be processed and apply for citizenship or greencard. But if they get deported, they don't leave behind an entire life in the US. But Obama did not reform the immigration system and yes. He can be, and he has been criticized for that.
And I noticed how Pierce just nodded to everything Davis Hanson said, no matter how ridiculous it was. A historian would in the very least get history right. He didn't even do that.
Piers continues to bring an obvious pro trump and GOP bias by taking trump at his word while conveniently ignoring actions. The guy revising hsitory was unserious in his very serious low-key delivery.

Yes, ALL Semites and 100% agreement on what you've shared here Mary. Well said.

I don’t believe all the scheit people are writing and saying. It’s not my America like this.

So according to Piers, if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, sounds like a duck … it might not be a duck because we are overusing the term duck?
Mehdi looks exhausted. You need another vacation sir, a real one. One during which you don’t work.

👏🏾
Morgan says a lot of lunacy
Thank you for standing up to the lunacy that we had to listen to the first half of that show
The Orange Cheeto as Chief Lecher in Command
Cheeto’s lecherous past is clear He evaded public scrutiny over his sordid sexual predatory behavior for years First the Access Hollywood tapes, then the E Jean Carroll rape civil settlement, then the conviction in the Stormy Daniels escapade, but even his MAGA base can’t stomach the perverse pedophilia story hidden in the Epstein files

Piers Morgan did not question any of the off the charts lies coming out of the so-called historian’s mouth. Really?
Piers continues to bring an obvious pro trump and GOP bias by taking trump at his word while conveniently ignoring actions. The guy revising hsitory was unserious in his very serious low-key delivery.
